Well, February is another month, so that means it’s time to move on to another book. This time around we’re giving away Carla Hall’s new title, Cooking with Love. Seems appropriate, given the impending tsunami of sweetness that is Valentine’s Day.

It’s an accessible tome, with just the right number of glossy photos, hardly any of which feature her grinning mug. That’s a gripe of mine, celebrity cookbooks that seem to be more about the bleach-toothed grin of the star than the food. This book does not suffer from that unfortunate trend. It’s ‘comfort’ food, for the most part, but with a greater respect and emphasis on the vegetation that often gets overlooked.

Anyway, to possible get your hands on a copy for free, all you need to do is fill out the entry form.
